Hotel Lawrence Halloween Ghost Hunt…

Our friends in DFW Ghost Hunters www.dfwghosthunters.com have partnered up with the Hotel Lawrence on Halloween to bring you a sweet ghost conference with professionals, vendors, and a ghost hunt!  A raffle will be held to see who gets to stay in room #807!  You can see our reports about this room, as well as updated info about this room on our news page that the Hotel sent us.  DFW Ghost Hunters have asked us to help lead in the ghost hunt to be your gracious tour guides.   We want to thank DFW Ghost Hunters for extending the invite, but sadly we will not be able to participate this year.  WHY you ask?  The ghost hunt doesn’t take place until Midnight.  With some of our members being brand new daddies - we have to hold off for the sake of family at this time (and the fact that it is a school night).  But this won’t last for long.  We have some investigations coming your way.  However, we would like to point out that we were the FIRST ones to bring you and everyone else all the info about the Hotel Lawrence with our spooky tales and EMF readings.  So do know we feel that we must gloat about something.  Call us pioneers if you will.  Ha ha ha.

Long time…no ghosts???

It’s been way too long since we’ve waved around our trusty EMF’s.  We apologize to our fans out there who keep up with us.  Life happened.  Simple as that.  We’ll be back scouting out dark ominous places of terror in no time.  Just hang tight.  We have TONS of footage that still needs to be uploaded from our last investigation.

In the meantime - The Hotel Lawrence contacted us today.  You guessed it.  MORE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY IS GOING DOWN at the this hot spot!  Here’s the scoop directly from the hotel relations peeps:

 Bart!

Long time, no talk! I just found out that we had someone change rooms because they had such an experience in 807. He had issues getting into his room. He set the alarm and made sure everything was working. During the middle of the night he felt something push down on him and he couldn’t move. When he woke up his alarm clock was unplugged and he knew that he had set the alarm the night before. I just thought that I’d update you on the happenings.  This person was a guest. We have some guests here and the people in sales were making sure that everyone was having a great stay and the guest told them about it. He said that because of it he changed rooms. I guess it freaked him out. Another guest heard the story and is moving rooms so he can be in that room because he loves paranormal stuff.

We investigated room #807 on our last visit.  You can check out the reprt on the site to see what we found.  Sounds like we’ll be going back for round 3…

And the awards just keep pouring in!

We’re Baaaaack from the Hotel Lawrence!

 3/07:

One word: Beat.  So tired I can barely manage to type this.  A grueling investigation with LOTS more “hot spots” and lots more ghostly gear.  Expect the full report within the next week or so.  Tons of video footage from video cams, infra red cams, and EVPs to sort through.  As for the editing of the Internet Episode - that might take some time.  Jimmy is the master and he will tell us when the masterpiece is finished.  If you thought the pilot episode was great  - I’m telling ya…wait to you see this.

Is this further proof?

 3/07:

CPS got a great e-mail yesterday from someone who had the opportunity to stay at the Hotel Lawrence that experienced some paranormal activity.   We thought we’d post it for you!  Is this further proof that something is going on at the historic Hotel Lawrence???  Read for yourself.  Our comments are in bold.

Hello Bart,Jimmy,and David…

   Was given your website name by the hotel staff at The Hotel Lawrence. We love their staff.  Have you tasted their cookies?  Five of us stayed in the hotel Sunday night(March 4th). Upon researching, I learned the most paranormal activity occurs on the 10th floor so I requested that floor and specifically asked for room 1009 (my friends stayed in rooms 1003 and 1004). We have released this info about room #1009 to various sites.  You heard it here first, folks.  We broke the news first.  Fresh meat.  I only wish I had read your investigative report before arriving there. We’re glad you didn’t.  This just goes to show that we’re not crazy. Your report states you recorded activity between 6:15PM and 10:30PM…unfortunately we were out for the evening and did not return to the hotel until midnight. Tisk.  Tisk.  And on a school night? When I first got into my room I put my things on the bed and walked out of the room to go down to 1003 and noticed a cut across one of my fingers that was bleeding but did not have anything in my hands that was sharp. My razor snapped in half when I picked it up to use in the shower and red-orange water came from the tap in the sink when first turned on (perhaps no one has stayed in the room for a while).  We try to shave before all investigations.  But perhaps when we go back we should lather up.  Note to Dave - go out and get some BICS for the equipment case.  Monday morning was interesting…I went downstairs to breakfast about 9:00AM and when I came back to the room my key card did not work so I went to room 1003 to use their phone to call the front desk who stated they did not do anything. I went down to the desk so they could re-key my cards. Went back upstairs and they still did not work…they never worked again. My friend’s key cards for the other rooms did not work either. Interesting??? This happened to us soon after Bart “heard” the female voice in the 10th floor hallway.  We too had to go back down stairs and get our cards re-keyed.  All keys worked fine before this.  Coincidence???  This could be a door lock defect.  Or, it could be energy manifesting itself as an entity.  But I’m sure the front desk assured you that they never have this problem with this door lock.  This info was in our posted report.  Odd it happened to you too.  Since we could not get back in the room and my luggage was already out we decided to take some pictures of the outside of room 1009. She snapped some of me trying to get the key card to work and something told me to say to my friend “take a picture of me right now, right this very minute.” In that particular picture is an orb right above my head. None of the other pictures that we had just taken have orbs in them. Interesting???  When Bart walked into room #1009 he said something to the same effect.  Two juicy orbs were found in consequetive pics.  We were wondering when you guys might be going back to thehotel to do your part two of the investigation? We would very much like to book rooms while you are there…we would not get in your way…just observe or assist. Thank you for your time to read this as we areamateur ghost hunters and welcome any opportunity to “tag along”.

Sincerely,
Judy

So - does Judy and her friend’s expedition prove anything?  As you can see in her e-mail - she didn’t read our report on the hotel before she went.  Lots of things she wouldn’t have known about.  Thanks Judy for the great e-mail!  We can’t wait for part two of our investigation!

– CPS

PS: Judy - we’ve sent ya two e-mail replies and yet nothing back…

Hotel Lawrence Investigation - Part Deux

2/07:

CPS goes back for round two at the Hotel Lawrence in downtown
Dallas mid March.  We can’t wait!  Since this will be our second time out there it means we will definitely be going dark.  Yup.  Bringing in the infra red cams.  According to employees - ever since we left it seems as if we stirred some things up.  LOTS of “activity” as been reported all over the hotel. 

www.carrolltonparanormalsociety.com

The Hotel Lawrence Dallas has redefined the notion of the personalized and intimate, European-Style Boutique hotel. With a history that dates back to 1925, and a current style that reflects a magnificent collaboration of today’s most imaginative and comfortable design elements and technology. The Hotel Lawrence is conveniently located downtown next to the central business district, adjacent to the Historic West End and Union Station and across the street from the George Allen Courthouse. We are also the closest hotel to the Dallas School Book Depository and Kennedy Sixth Floor Museum.

Old Parkland Hospital Investigation

 1/07:

Old  Parkland Hospital: Dallas, TX 

CPS was getting excited about investigating the Old Parkland Hospital in Dallas, TX before it was torn down.  Everything was looking good for us.  However, at the last minute the investigation was going to have to be closed before it was even opened.  The property was purchased and the new owners had other plans – and rightfully so.  Due to the heavy demolition and safety concerns (many homeless people have since moved in and seek shelter at night – especially in the winter months), the property owners have been overloaded with inquiries about paranormal investigations before the changes are made. The new management does not want the publicity or rumors to be out there that their property is haunted before they turn the hospital grounds into apartments. Many trespassers have already been prosecuted. www.carrolltonparanormalsociety.com
